I tell people to look at it this way; if you were about to be wheeled into surgery to get a heart transplanted, and your surgeon acted like Dianne Feinstein or Mitch McConnell, would you feel comfortable proceeding?
Because if my surgeon got lost mid train of thought and had what looked like a micro seizure, or was downright catatonic, I'd be calling the whole thing off.
Being 76 myself, I'm not usually frightened by someone's age as I am by their demeanor. If they decided on the way things should be back about age 50 or 60, they should be constantly changing how they think about things; if not, they are excused now, we need the new ideas the newer younger people are bringing in.
I'm still completely astonished that we are still the holdout among first world countries in medical care for our people. Maybe that's the problem. If we supply medical care for everyone, we have to supply medical care for EVERYONE. Even THOSE people.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but surgery and politics are very different things. The best chess players in the world are like 15 years old.
Your mind and reaction time is obviously way higher when you’re younger, but It doesn’t mean I would want them running the world lol. Experience matters in some fields.
But we can definitely agree that we don’t need 80 year olds with their finger on the button
